BBC Creative Archive

What is It?

The Creative Archive is a project by the BBC to make their back archives available over the internet. The important question is in what form such content is to be made available. Friends of the Creative Domain (FCD) has been organized to support and encourage the BBC in its efforts to make the archive available in as open form as possible. In particular we seek to have the principal of an archive that is open for non-commercial use enshrined in the BBC's new charter. For more information on the archive and the issues surrounding it see this page.
